What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

isn't it awesome? germany gets it -- I remember when merkel said multiculturalism has no place in the modern world. I used to think that was wrong, but for the past two weeks I've reflected on that and maybe lady liberty has become obsolete

What are you jabbering on about?

my girlfriend's health insurance premiums increased by $150/month from 160 to 310/month. rather than have her waste money by throwing it at obamacare, I figure I can marry her (courthouse, no ceremony) and charge her the difference. makes a profit $$ on this but it forces us into matrimony when otherwise I'd not go through the hassle right now

I've been checking in on Rogue POTUS Staff Twitter account from time to time, and I can't figure out what to make of it.  It seems highly unlikely that the source is indeed rogue POTUS staff.  It's not like the president and his advisers do everything in front of a crowd of 100 anonymous staffers, you'd pretty quickly figure out how to associate what leaked with who could've possibly leaked it, and then pretty soon you'll be down to one suspect.

But recently a thought occurred to me:  what if this is how intelligence agencies are fighting Trump?  I'm sure they can find a way to monitor everything that happens in the White House, and this is their way to fight Trump before Trump completely emasculates them.  If you think Trump is a traitor, you can pretty much only fight him by leaking, and leaking to Twitter under a disguise seems more effective than leaking to the media.

That is a rather interesting thought...I was wondering about the Rogue twitter account as well. Like you said, it would be relatively trivial to narrow it down enough to find the culprit.

Cool;  so, instead of paying for her health insurance, you can extort her with yours.

have any of the rogue POTUS "leaks" been verified as actually being a leak? read an article the other day that talked about the increase in fake news by progressives, and it referenced these rogue X twitter accounts

no reason to pay for her health insurance when we can just get married

The intelligence agencies talk to journalists.

relationships, like politics, is a zero-sum game

so, because of obamacare, I'm going down to the courthouse and getting married. I'm not even engaged wtf.

now I need to see an attorney about getting a prenup

obama ruined america

Your President and your party have promised to fix things.   You could wait a week or two until that great replace plan is in place.

Or is it that you have lost faith in your party?  You don't think they will go through and make it better for everyone while not dropping anyone's coverage and not increasing premiums?

Remember, LeCroix is on anti-smoking drugs that make him say batshit-insane, stump-stupid things.  Best not to take him too seriously.

You knew that Trumpcare was going to be more expensive than Obamacare, but voted for him anyway, and support him still  It's about time you learned that stupid comes at a price.

Having said that, you should see your doctor about getting off the stupid pills before making a final decision about getting married.  There's stupid, and STUPID.
